The bandwagon, sponsored by the WSC Alumni Association, was filled with dignitaries and musicians.

Scott Summerill Managing Editor our SilUYY Scott Summerill Managing Editor The centennial float blues Weber Slate's Centennial float was tentatively scheduled to make it's first appearance in Ogden's 4ih of July parade, but lack of support set the debut back. Dean Holt said he was asked to draw up the plans and coordinated the building efforts for the float. But when it came time to put it together, Holt said he ran into problems getting the manpower to finish the project on time. "Everybody wants it the float and has big plans for all these parades," Holt said, "but they aren't willing to help get the thing done." There is a great deal of work involved in this kind of project, Holt said. "People just don't understand the logistics of getting something like this together." The total cost for the float, according to Holt, was about $700. "It would have cost about three time that if it had been hired out," he said. Holt said he picked up the frame for a very good price. "The rest was just building the float on the frame," he said. There are plans for the float to be in several parades, Holt said, as well as numerous alumni activities and sports events. The Weber S tate centennial float on its debut appearance . in Ogden's Pioneer Days Parade yesterday. Among the dignitaries aboard the float were WSC president Stephen Nadauld and members of his family, Alumni Association president Chris Davis, Centennial Committee chairperson Sharon Young, ASWSC president Stephanie Jesscn and a 1 5-member student pep band directed by Tom Root. Dean Hurst, WS C college relation director, said the band was comprised of students that have been involved in the pep club. "As far as I know," he said, "they have no real name." The riders on the float dressed in costumes' designed to show the 100 year history of Weber State. According to Hurst, they are a combination of styles from the past that culminate in what Hurst calls the "Gay '90s" look. After all, he said, "that's the centennial year." The band played an assortment of Dixieland, fight songs and jazz melodies as the float passed the crowd that lined Washington Boulevard to watch the 139th annual parade celebrating the arrival of the Mormon pioneers in the Utah valley 141 years ago. Waldo the Wildcat, Weber State's mascot, frolicked through the streets arousing smiles from the kids and cheers from the adults as he energetically led the centennial bandwagon along its course. "There was a student entry that was going to pull the victory bell. But they were too late. " Dean Hurst, WSC college relation director Along with the Centennial float, WSC was represented by the Lambda Delta Sigma Sorority. The sorority members graced the streets of Ogden aboard a boat courtesy of Fred's Marina in South Weber. Sharon Dixon, president of the sorority, said they tried to get every member of the sorority that was available to participate. The sorority had originally planned to enter a float in the parade, according to Dixon. "It would have been too much work in such a short amount of time," she said. "So we got a boat." Dixon said the members of the sorority wanted to show Ogden how they felt about it. "We just wanted to support the community," she said. Hurst said there were supposed to be more entries from Weber, but they didn't get their entry forms submitted in time. "There was a student entry that was going to pull the victory bell. But they were to late," he said. "All they had to do is shine that baby up and it would have been nice."
